Chapter 14: Uncovering the Identity
◎She was discovered a long time ago◎
The garden of Yuxu Palace is very large, with exotic flowers and plants and various ancient spiritual roots everywhere. Kong Shuang searched for a long time before she found Sibu Xiang. She transformed back into human form and saw Sibu Xiang lying in the flowers, chewing a piece of unknown grass in his mouth.
Kong Shuang was furious. You are the descendant of Qilin, a ferocious beast, and a meat-eater.
Even though she was a descendant of the phoenix that lived in the paulownia trees and drank the dew, she still had to eat some meat from time to time to satisfy her hunger.
Although Sibu Xiang followed Yuanshi, he was at most a Taoist priest, not a monk in the West, so how could he eat vegetarian food?
Kong Shuang appeared in front of Sibu Xiang, stood under his huge body, and said softly: "Sibu Xiang, I am here to take you home."
Sibu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then recognized his friend. He stood up and transformed into a simple and honest young man in white clothes. He asked in surprise, "Kong Shuang, how did you know I was here?"
Kong Shuang looked him up and down, stretched out his hand which had not transformed into human form for a long time and was no longer so accustomed to it, and pulled out the grass in his mouth. He was a little surprised that he had followed Yuanshi and had actually learned some of Yuanshi's immortal style.
"You are a ferocious beast, how can you eat grass?"
Sibuxiang scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "I think it's delicious."
Kong Shuang shook his head, feeling a little sorry for him, and took his hand: "Let's not talk too much for now. Fellow Daoist Bai Ze asked me to find you, let's go first. I spent a lot of effort to sneak into Kunlun Mountain. If Yuanshi finds me, all my efforts will be wasted soon!"
She pulled Sibu Xiang's hand, but found that it didn't move. She couldn't help but look back at him in surprise.
Sibu Xiang's face was tinged with a hint of nostalgia as he said, "So it's Bai Ze, Kong Shuang. Thank you for taking the trouble to save me, but I don't want to leave."
Kong Shuang was shocked and couldn't understand what he said: "Why, you are here to be used as a mount."
Sibu Xiang shook his head and smiled slightly, saying, "I have always been stupid, but I can distinguish between good and bad. The master is very kind to me, and I am willing to be his mount."
Kong Shuang really couldn't figure it out and couldn't understand his thoughts. The ancient beasts like them, who were powerful and could achieve enlightenment on their own, were all arrogant and would rather die than be a mount for others. This was evident from her struggle with Zhunti over the years.
She was not stupid. She knew that Zhunti Jieyin was a future saint, but she still went against them because she did not want to be someone's mount or be driven by others.
The Three Pure Ones have different personalities. Laozi is lazy, Tongtian yearns for wildness, and only Yuanshi is exquisite and meticulous. Among the three palaces in Kunlun Mountain, only Yuxu Palace has a garden.
The garden had beautiful scenery, but Sibu Xiang loved to toss around in it, making a mess. Whenever Yuanshi saw this, he would either scold or rebuke him, but he never blamed him.
He looked at his own traces in the garden, then at Kong Shuang's puzzled expression: "Although the master is fierce, he is soft-hearted. He doesn't despise me for being stupid and always takes me to practice with Nan Ji. I am very grateful to him."
Kong Shuang thought, how could he be so soft-hearted? If he was really soft-hearted, he wouldn't have given you to Jiang Ziya, nor would he have sent his brother into the small dark room, nor would he have sent his brother's apprentice to the list of gods.
Her brows were furrowed, her fists clenched tightly. She could already feel her anger spreading throughout her body. The sound of the bells on her feet was getting louder and louder. She looked at Sibu Xiang and said coldly:
"So, you mean you don't want to go with me? I know you don't like him staying in the Qilin clan. If you want, you can come to my Undying Volcano and stay as long as you want."
Sibu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Kong Shuang took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to knock Sibu Xiang out and take him away. She knew that although Sibu Xiang was kind and gentle, he was very stubborn. If she really did that, he would not forgive her.
She gritted her teeth and plucked a feather from her body. The feather was gleaming with colorful light, dazzling and gorgeous. With her level of cultivation, there would be no problem of feather shedding. Each feather was formed by the concentration of essence, blood and magic power. Missing one was equivalent to losing her cultivation.
She placed the feather in Sibu Xiang's palm and said, "If one day you no longer like Kunlun Mountain, you can use this feather to summon me, and I will come back to take you away."
Sibuxiang nodded: "Thank you!"
Kong Shuang was furious and turned into a breeze, leaving with a cold face.
Not long after she left, someone came into the garden. Yuanshi frowned, and when he saw Sibuxiang's eyes flicker, he asked, "Did that bird come here?"
Sibu Xiang didn't know that Kong Shuang had transformed into his true form and was lurking in Kunlun Mountain. In addition, Yuanshi disliked the demon race, so he naturally didn't dare to reveal the fact that Kong Shuang had sneaked into Yuxu Palace. He only said in a low voice: "Disciple, I don't know."
Yuanshi snorted and thought to himself that he would have to have a good talk with Tongtian next time he saw him. The spirit bird he raised was becoming more and more courageous and even dared to enter his Yuxu Palace.
Since Sibu Xiang was not leaving for the time being, Kong Shuang originally wanted to leave Kunlun Mountain directly. She flew in the air and glanced in the direction of Biyou Palace. She was hesitant and tangled in her heart. Ever since she was rescued and healed by Tongtian, she had been with Tongtian for nearly ten thousand years.
Although time is the least valuable thing for cultivators, and ten thousand years is just the time for a retreat, it is impossible for her to say that she has no feelings for Tongtian at all.
Now that she is leaving, she is still a little reluctant to leave Tongtian.
Kong Shuang changed back into his true form and returned to Biyou Palace. He had to leave, so he wanted to take one last look and say goodbye to him before leaving.
When she flew over the Biyou Palace, she suddenly found something wrong. The gate of the Biyou Palace was wide open, as if welcoming someone?
Kong Shuang's heart sank to the bottom, and she had a bad feeling. She didn't want Tongtian to know that the little white bird was Kong Shuang, and Kong Shuang was the little white bird.
After much thought, she entered the Biyou Palace and saw Tongtian still sitting on the cushion he usually sat on, but he was not sitting properly, with his body tilted. If Yuanshi saw him, he would scold him for sitting in an improper manner.
He had a scripture on his knees, seemingly studying it carefully. Seeing Kong Shuang coming back, he hummed and said, "You're back."
As if he knew what she had done, Kong Shuang became more and more uneasy.
She walked over as she did before, sat on his cushion, and leaned against him. She plucked a feather for Sibu Xiang, who was injured and felt a little weak. She only felt a dizzy pain in her head.
Tongtian glanced at her and saw that her feathers had become much duller, as if she was injured. He took out a pill and placed it in front of Kong Shuang.
Kong Shuang recognized it. It was the elixir made by Laozi. She understood in her heart that Tongtian already knew her identity and what she had just done.
The secret that he had worked so hard to hide was revealed one day, and Kong Shuang actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of things being settled.
In that case, she didn't hesitate and swallowed the pill directly. As soon as the pill entered her stomach, she felt a warm current flowing through her body, nourishing her lost magic power.
Tongtian stared at her and curled his lips: "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang, why don't you meet me?"
Kong Shuang frowned, pouted, and transformed into a human form, dressed in green and with black hair, looking extremely beautiful. She sat cross-legged beside him and greeted him awkwardly, "Haha, fellow Daoist Tongtian, long time no see."
After she said it, she regretted it. She felt that her mouth was out of control.
Tongtian's eyes curved up, and he lifted his wide sleeves gracefully, handed a cup of tea to her, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, it's not that I just met you."
